With more than seven years across design and full-stack development, I build and design web applications, internal tools and digital products. I co-founded a development studio in Cape Town and now work from Frankfurt, helping businesses find solutions to their problems
Contact MeFrontend
Fast, accessible, and polished interfaces with React, Next.js, and TypeScript — from marketing sites to data-dense dashboards.
Backend
Robust services and APIs with Node, NestJS, and Flask, built around reliability, security and clean data models.
DevOps
Containerised builds, CI/CD pipelines and cloud deploys that ship reliably and roll back safely.
Internal Tooling
Custom internal tools and automation that streamline operations and give teams the workflows they actually need.
UI/UX Design
Clean, modern and focused design, driven by data and guided by beauty.
Consulting
Hands-on technical guidance — product strategy, architecture, and delivery — that aligns engineering effort with real business goals.

Work
Knowledge infrastructure for AI
Laminae turns document collections into source-attributed, AI-ready knowledge bases over the Model Context Protocol — for teams that have the data but not the time.
Founded & built it
Founder and builder — from the retrieval architecture and MCP server through to product, brand, and go-to-market.
Traceable by design
Hybrid retrieval — dense vectors, sparse search, and re-ranking — exposed over MCP, with every answer tied to its source document, page, and snippet. Runs managed, self-hosted, or fully air-gapped. The result is retrieval a team can actually trust in production: auditable, portable, and ready to slot into whatever stack they already run.
Robots that inspect industry
Korial builds the software that lets autonomous robots inspect industrial sites. I work across the product and internal tooling.
Internal tooling & Fullstack Development
Worked across product, assurance and internal tooling to help the operations department run smoother and faster.
Reliability first
Shorter feedback loops between QA and engineering, backed by automation and clear, trustworthy data. Tooling that surfaces problems earlier in the cycle, so the operations team spends less time chasing regressions and more time moving the product forward.
Product, then retained
Brought in to help shape product development, then kept on as a retained technical consultant across ongoing work.
Guiding delivery
Advised on product direction and delivery, aligning engineering effort with real business goals.
Strategy meets build
Hands-on technical guidance connecting product strategy to what actually gets built. I stayed close to the day-to-day, translating business goals into pragmatic engineering decisions and keeping delivery honest as priorities shifted.
A studio from scratch
Co-founded a boutique software studio in Cape Town, delivering web and product work for clients — from first idea to shipped product.
Design to deployment
Co-led client projects end to end — scoping, design, build and delivery.
Small team, tight loops
Pragmatic tech choices, close client collaboration, and a bias for shipping. We kept scope tight and iterations short, getting working software in front of clients early and refining it from real feedback.
